Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This is a very complete and powerful solution."

More Laserfiche Rio Pros →

"The product provides flexibility in collaboration.""There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together.""What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps.""The search feature is valuable.""We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits.""It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata.""​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking.""I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."

Cons
"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."

More Laserfiche Rio Cons →

"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools.""​Improve the user-friendliness.""Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users.""Using SharePoint is difficult.""SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason.""No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository.""The management of the product/back-end is complex.""When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."

I decided to do a round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons.

This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog.
